Bio
Linda Eckelman
Bob was a great mentor and coach to me and helped me to achieve success in multiple roles while I was with Georgia Pacific. Initially, Bob was my supervisor. In this role, Bob helped me develop selling skills along with business development and account management expertise. Bob also provided valuable career guidance which ultimately led to my promotion to Business Development Manager. Later, I worked alongside Bob in my role as Sales Force Effectiveness Manager. During this time, Bob helped me to develop recruiting and mentoring skills while working with his team. Bob was a great boss and teammate. I would strongly recommend Bob for any leadership role.

Few people have had the opportunity to work with an unswerving and tenacious teammate as Bob Vondrachek. I worked with Bob as his Sales Operations Manager for 5 years at Georgia-Pacific. During that time, Bob employed strong financial acumen, negotiation and pricing discipline to maximize profitability within his business. Bob relied on other levers besides 'price' to get a sale, and his team consistently ranked as one of the most profitable districts across the country. His team also excelled with the highest degree of price realization (achievement of price increases). An unprecedented number of Bob's direct reports won the President's Club Award during his tenure - Bob's aptitude and optimism has the ability to unlock the full potential of the people he works closely with. I very much enjoyed working with Bob - I miss how personable and collaborative he was. We loved to ping ideas back and forth around business strategy and market insights. Bob taught me countless lessons about the market, customers, and navigating the corporate workplace. It's been about a year since I left Georgia-Pacific, but we still stay in touch and remain close. Bob earns my highest recommendation; he will provide a strategic advantage to any organization.
